Liam Fauchard-Newman has taken up the position of Head Chef at Holborn Dining Room following the departure of Calum Franklin earlier this year.

Liam announced his new role on social media following an earlier post on his Instagram where he confirmed that he would departing The Swan in West Malling.

Liam’s work experience includes time at The Square, Kitchen W8, The Ledbury, and Fenchurch. Commenting on his new role via social media, Liam said: “I’d like to take this opportunity to share the news I’m now starting as Head Chef at Holborn Dining Room, Rosewood London.”

He added: “[I am] Extremely excited for this opportunity watch this space!”

Holborn Dining Room is a grand brasserie located in Central London that serves seasonal British cuisine, including a wide arrange of pies and pastries.

Under the leadership of former head chef Calum Franklin and Head Pie Maker Nokx Majozi, the restaurant achieved critical acclaim for the intricate and artistic displays of pastry across its menu.

In June earlier this year, Calum announced that he would be leaving the restaurant to embark upon new ventures.

In a statement on Instagram the chef said: “Letting go of something you have cared for deeply is never going to be easy but after almost nine years it's time for a big change.”

Commenting on his time as head chef, Calum added: “I'll always be proud of what we have achieved at the restaurant, as a team I think we gave it a real identity, celebrated British culinary history and built a pretty cool pie room.”
